Trophy Guide

Welcome, fellow Wanderers, to the definitive Trophy Guide for Metal Gear Survive! This section will walk you through every step needed to unlock all the game's accolades, from story progression to mastering the nuances of base defense and resource management. Prepare for a challenging but ultimately rewarding journey through Dite.

Story Progression Trophies

These trophies are earned by simply playing through the main campaign. While some might seem straightforward, understanding optimal strategies for each chapter can save you valuable time and resources.

The First Step

  • Requirement: Complete Chapter 1: "The Wormhole."
  • Walkthrough: This is your introduction to Dite. Focus on learning the basic controls, resource gathering (especially Kuban Energy and basic materials like Iron and Wood), and understanding the threat of the Wanderers. You'll primarily be following Virgil AT-9's instructions. The chapter culminates in your first base defense scenario. Ensure your fences are repaired and you have a basic spear equipped.

Into the Dust

  • Requirement: Complete Chapter 2: "The Dust."
  • Walkthrough: Chapter 2 introduces you to the concept of the Dust and the need for oxygen. You'll be tasked with venturing further into the hostile environment. Prioritize crafting an Oxygen Tank and an Oxygen Mask as soon as possible. These are crucial for extended exploration. You'll also encounter your first large-scale resource extraction point.

The Truth Revealed

  • Requirement: Complete the main story.
  • Walkthrough: This trophy is awarded upon the conclusion of the final chapter. To prepare for the endgame, ensure you have a robust base defense, advanced weaponry (e.g., Assault Rifle, Shotgun), and ample medical supplies. Stock up on Nutrient Paste and Purified Water. The final encounters will test your combat prowess and resourcefulness. Don't be afraid to retreat and resupply if necessary.

Base Development & Survival Trophies

These trophies focus on your ability to maintain and expand your base, as well as your personal survival skills.

Home Sweet Home

  • Requirement: Build your first base.
  • Walkthrough: This trophy is unmissable and will be earned during Chapter 1. You'll be guided through the process of establishing your initial base camp.

Master Builder

  • Requirement: Build 100 structures in your base.
  • Walkthrough: This is a cumulative trophy. Focus on building essential structures first (e.g., Water Collector, Food Processor, Storage Container). Once those are established, you can spam cheaper, smaller structures like Barricades or Fences in less critical areas to quickly reach the count. Iron and Wood are your primary resources for this.

Resourceful Survivor

  • Requirement: Gather 10,000 Kuban Energy.
  • Walkthrough: Kuban Energy is the lifeblood of Dite. You'll gather it from defeated Wanderers, Kuban crystals found in the environment, and by completing missions. Focus on clearing out Wanderer nests and exploring the Dust for larger crystal deposits. Equipping a Kuban Sensor can help locate these.

Thirsty No More

  • Requirement: Drink Purified Water 50 times.
  • Walkthrough: Your character's thirst meter will constantly deplete. Craft Water Collectors at your base to passively generate Dirty Water, then use a Water Purifier to turn it into Purified Water. Always carry a few bottles with you. This trophy will come naturally through regular gameplay.

Hunger Pangs

  • Requirement: Eat Nutrient Paste 50 times.
  • Walkthrough: Similar to thirst, hunger is a constant threat. Build Food Processors and utilize harvested meat from animals or plants to create Nutrient Paste. Keep your food supply stocked and consume paste regularly to maintain your stamina.

Combat & Exploration Trophies

These trophies reward your combat prowess and willingness to explore the dangerous corners of Dite.

Wanderer Slayer

  • Requirement: Defeat 1,000 Wanderers.
  • Walkthrough: This is a cumulative trophy that will be earned through regular combat encounters. Focus on headshots for critical damage and efficient kills. Base defense missions are excellent opportunities to rack up Wanderer kills.

Elite Hunter

  • Requirement: Defeat 50 Elite Wanderers.
  • Walkthrough: Elite Wanderers are tougher, more dangerous versions of standard Wanderers. They often have unique abilities or resistances. You'll encounter them in higher-level areas of the Dust and during harder base defense missions. Focus fire on their weak points and utilize grenades or heavy weapons for a quicker fight.

Deep Diver

  • Requirement: Reach the deepest point of the Dust.
  • Walkthrough: This trophy requires significant exploration and preparation. You'll need advanced oxygen tanks, a reliable weapon, and plenty of medical supplies. The deepest points are usually marked on your map as you uncover them. Be prepared for intense encounters with powerful Wanderers.

Weapon Master

  • Requirement: Craft every type of weapon.
  • Walkthrough: This requires you to unlock and craft at least one of each weapon category: melee (e.g., Spear, Machete), bows (e.g., Survival Bow), pistols (e.g., 9mm Pistol), shotguns (e.g., Pump-Action Shotgun), assault rifles (e.g., AK-47), and heavy weapons (e.g., Grenade Launcher). You'll need to gather various blueprints and materials for this. Prioritize unlocking the higher-tier crafting tables.

Co-op & Challenge Trophies

These trophies encourage you to engage with the co-op elements and tackle specific challenges.

Team Player

  • Requirement: Complete 10 Co-op Missions.
  • Walkthrough: Access Co-op Missions from the main menu or the Co-op Terminal at your base. These missions involve defending a wormhole dig site with other players. Focus on teamwork, resource sharing, and coordinating your defenses. Even failed missions contribute to the count, but successful ones yield better rewards.

Hardened Veteran

  • Requirement: Complete a Co-op Mission on Hard difficulty.
  • Walkthrough: Once you're comfortable with Co-op Missions, attempt a Hard difficulty one. Communication with your team is paramount. Ensure everyone has strong weapons, ample defenses, and understands their roles. Focus on upgrading your base defenses for these missions.

Survivalist Extraordinaire

  • Requirement: Survive 7 consecutive days in Dite without dying.
  • Walkthrough: This trophy requires careful planning and risk management. Prioritize maintaining your hunger and thirst meters, avoiding unnecessary combat, and always having an escape route. Stick to safer areas of the map, and ensure your base is well-defended before venturing out. If you die, the counter resets.

Miscellaneous Trophies

These trophies cover various other aspects of the game.

The Collector

  • Requirement: Discover 50 different blueprints.
  • Walkthrough: Blueprints are found in various locations: containers, defeated Elite Wanderers, and as mission rewards. Explore every nook and cranny, especially in the Dust, to maximize your chances.

Kuban Power-Up

  • Requirement: Upgrade a skill to its maximum level.
  • Walkthrough: Access the Skill Tree from your base. Choose a skill you frequently use (e.g., Melee Damage Up, Stamina Up) and invest Kuban Energy to upgrade it to its highest tier.

Dite Explorer

  • Requirement: Uncover 75% of the map.
  • Walkthrough: Simply explore! Venture into all corners of the map, both inside and outside the Dust. The more you walk, the more of the map will be revealed. Pay attention to areas that still appear as fog on your map.

Good luck, Wanderer. With this guide, you'll conquer Dite and earn every trophy Metal Gear Survive has to offer!

While Metal Gear Survive emphasizes base defense, it maintains the survivalist roots of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by requiring players to manage hunger and thirst metrics.
